I went to the one in Birmingham/uk yesterday, and they had a great selection of merino sweaters from Theory, few pieces by phylosophy alberta ferretti, pierre balmain wool poncho, chloe coats, love moschino pieces and finally some nice Tibi tops ! I recommend it!

For Londoners: TK Maxx just opened a new store in Balham and so far it looks promising. Decent clothing sections for men, women and children, good handbag and makeup/skincare section, but almost no home-wares. They had some pieces by Elizabeth and James, Kenzo, Theory, Moschino, Ralph Lauren, some pretty famous knitwear brand that right now I can't remember the name of...
Btw knitwear is surprisingly cheap there at the moment.
Didn't get anything for myself, just some gifts and baby stuff, but I'm very tempted to go back.

Does anyone else feel that they're more expensive than they used to be? And they don't mark down as low as a few years ago? Don't get me wrong, I still think TJ Maxx offers great deals on everything, and I never leave empty handed, but I bought a purse there the other day thinking it was such a great deal (and it was)... but then I saw the same bag on hautelook yesterday for cheaper (okay... only 2 cents cheaper)... but it seems like I never find the dirt cheap stuff that I used to. I saw Michael by M Kors bags there for $250 the other day, and they used to be less than $200. Now I just feel like I'm complaining... it's still a good deal, I just miss the days where I would see premium denim on the clearance racks for $5-$15 and Elizabeth & James for $20. . . could be that the store is just more popular now so not as many things make it to clearance.

I haven't seen yellow stickers yet at my local TJ Maxx, but a lot of their red sticker clearance has been marked down several times. Lots of Vince (still $50-70), Tory Burch (35-70 I think) and I found a pair of Helmut Lang leather pants for $25 (originally $925)... I'm going to sell them though because they're too small. I saw a lovely Zac Posen dress but it was still $400 on clearance. Lots of less expensive labels (Cynthia Rowley, Max Studio, etc... ) for $5-$10 a piece. Lots of non "designer" Italian labels I've never heard of too with really pretty sweaters and blouses. Also Cole Haan wallets marked down to $30 (retail $175). I'm really hoping that Zac Posen dress is still there after they start the yellow sticker markdowns.
